Fantastic hike for those wishing to leave the car in Menzonio and go beyond Margonègia (see above). Scandul is beautiful and offers incredible views of the surrounding mountain scenery.

This grotto changed hands twice over the last years, after the original and wonderful owner went into retirement. After not such good reviews, the new owners are now reclaiming the original reputation and if you are looking for somewhere to have a traditional Ticinese dinner, look no further.

Swimming below Menzonio
Check out the amazing bathing spots below Menzonio. Further down, between Menzonio and Brontallo, just AFTER Menzonio beach (which you can see from the road), there is a parking bay and a path that leads down to the river to more secluded spots. Just spectacular. See pics in the listing. Enjoy!
